My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I've been sponsored by the Petfinder Kia Grant to help reduce adoption fees. Thanks to the wonderful Petfinder Foundation my adoption fee is only $25.00!



Hi!! Apollo here. I'm a goof and loving boy. The shelter isn't too sure what my situation was like prior, but I am selective with new people. It takes me a little extra attention and treats, but once I know you're a friend, I will love you unconditionally and always. The staff says I'm connected at the hip or a "velcro" dog once we're friends. I do great with other dogs and really enjoy playing! I'm not a fan of kitty cats- they scare me so no feline friends for me unfortunetly. Since I'm such a big guy, a home with older children would be the best. On top of all of that, I'm potty-trained and do great in a kennel overnight. I'm looking for that extra special someone that can have patience with me and teach me how to be the bestest boy.



If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come.



Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets!



All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop
